The beginning of a crazy project

Good morning!

How are you? How was your weekend? Still in holiday mode Like myself? We are having now some really hot days but this did not stop me from beginning a very big crazy project – blanket which will become a bedspread 🙂

A crazy ripple blanket which (I hope so) will become a bedspread for one of the girl’s bed…

If you are a follower of my facebook page you already saw this pic above 🙂

I started this project with a thinner yarn than my usual Nako one. It is Mirage a 100% acrylic yarn which I crochet with a 3.5mm hook…

I really want to get rid of my old stash of this yarn so I can buy some new colours in october…

So I began this ripple…a very big one…each row with a different colour…

The pattern is here if you wish to make one too 😉

Each row is taking me half an hour to finish and I am a really fast crocheter 😉

So 30 minutes for only a row 🙂 That’s why I’m calling it crazy ripple because it will make me crazy at the end I know…but I can’t help myself and I am totally addicted right now 😀

I am loving so much the colors…

and I know that when it will become bigger it will be winter and cold days here and it will be the perfect project to crochet on cold evenings 🙂 (Can’t wait!)

So, my lovelies, that was the beginning of the crazy ripple project I started on August8…

Now I’ve added some more rows… and I can exactly tell how many hours I crocheted already 🙂 hahaha

Of course, I will have to crochet another bedspread for the second bed of my girl’s bedroom…another one with the same colors…

I will think about that second one later 🙂 One crazy project at a time 🙂

I’m wishing you now a crazy happy week!

Stay cool and happy!

Kisses

A double tadaaaa

Hello hello hello!

What shall I show you first today? This post is special as I have to show you two finished projects and they are both lovely 🙂

Ok. First.The pink stool.

I’ve had this wood stool from ages ago but it was in an ugly brown…I painted it pink and decided to make for it a nice crocheted cover…that was in may 2012 if my memory is good … I started it with the Ricco creative cotton… and never blogged about it…

Last week I decided to finish it 😉

Because I was into “stools” and was making the red one for a special order, the pink one had to be done too…

So, here it is: Enjoyyyyyyyyy………………….

Yarn: Rico creative cotton

Hook: 4mm

For the edging I sew this cute pompom trim to the back of the crochet 🙂

I love pompoms 😀

This last pic show the pink color of the wood as it is “live”

And for the second project…

I am sure you already guessed…

It is one more cute cat for my hubby… He chose the colors 😉

and I love it! These cats are really addictive 🙂

That’s all my friends 🙂

Next time I’ll tell you about the crazy project I am in now … It is taking all my time, I’m thinking about it all day long and it is making me crazy 🙂

Sending you happy kisses and lot lot of love through this post!

P.S: If you fancy making a cat you can order the book from the right sidebar of the blog between the lovely books. The book has very simple and clear instructions to make a cute cat on your own! Enjoy it!

A red stool: Before and after

Good morning!

I finished the cover for the pink stool but I tried it on a red stool I had at home and it was better. Much better…

Wanna see? Ok

Here is the red stool before:

And here it is after….Tadaaaaaaaaaaaa…

Very happy with the result I must confess…

Here are for you some pics to enjoy 😉

A view from above…pretty colorful granny squares joined together as-I-go …

I’ve added a trim of green pompom and I love love love it 🙂

This stool is a special order for a very kind lady… Even though I wished it was mine I am very happy that she loved it 😀 and that it will be cherished in its new home 🙂

Here is “Mustard” saying goodbye to his friend…

He was with me during all the steps of the stool’s making 😉

For this stool I used this yarn worked with a 2.5mm crochet hook.

Now I am finishing a second cover with the rico creative cotton. (I began this cover 14 months ago but did not blogged about it) This second cover will be for the pink stool. More about this in a next post 😉

Have to go now…

I hope that you loved the stool…

It is already gone to its new home and I kind of missed it here…

Have a lovely day!
